Armadillo Purse

My sis got her armadillo purse in the mail yesterday! She had been the successful bidder for it on Ebay. She wanted it to replace one that I had bought for her years ago.

How cool is that! I am glad that she was successful with her bid. After you told me, I googled it and turns out it is quiet a fad here!

when did you ever buy your sister an armadillo purse?

If you are the anonymous that I am guessing, you may remember San Antonio, 1979. Found it at a junk shop and thought it fascinating, so I bought it. Later my sis liked it, so I gave it to her.

I know where there's a real 'dillo, but he probably wouldn't like it if you made him into a purse. My dog Chase keeps wanting to hunt him though.

'Dillos are very cool, but unique little critters. I love the sound they make when they walk across blacktop. Because they have long-ish nails and cannot retract them, they make a slight "ticking" (clicking?) sound when they walk across blacktop. Very quiet in the grass though.

I'm glad you found one too, as I heard you were looking for one.
